A 1985 monograph included 19 species; more recent estimates place about 60 species in the genus. The type species Stilbella fimetaria (syn. Stilbella erythrocephala ) has a cosmopolitan distribution and grows on herbivore dung. It has pink or orange slimy conidia on white synnemata with phialidic conidiogenous cells. Several species have since been reclassified in other genera based on molecular phylogenetics or the discovery of sexual states, such as Atractium, Stilbocrea, and Trichoderma.
